‎24/‎05/‎2011 We headed out to the reef at 8am and was looking like it was going to be a dam nice day. The trip was an hour long out to the reef. About 20 people diveing and also 30 snorking. We went to 3 diffrent spots witch was good not to be stuck in one place all day. We first dived at pellowe reef the water was 26D so was realy warm so we only warn lycra suits for the stingers, just incase. It was a nice dive with plenty of sea life.
